Abstract

In the face of the ergonomics of the work environment, the state-of-the-art equipment and raw materials available, which make production possible, human resources are considered the most germane factor that enables production to happen. Employees are regarded as the lifeblood of any organization (for-profit and non-profit alike). However, despite its importance, some organizations still face various difficulties, particularly non-profit organizations, in realizing the advantages of managerial abilities, which include employee career development practices that offer both off-site and on-site opportunities for employees. This study, therefore, examined the effect of human resource development on employee performance in non-profit organizations, focusing on the International Secretariat and the Faith Bible Institute Complex of a selected faith-based organization. The purpose was to analyze how career development, on-site, and off-site training influence employee motivation and performance. A descriptive research design was adopted, and data were collected through structured questionnaires administered to 200 clergy members, both ministerial and non-ministerial. Out of 133 retrieved questionnaires, 108 were valid and analyzed using regression analysis with the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings revealed that career development (β = 32.2%), on-site training (β = 18.8%), and off-site training (β = 14.9%) significantly influenced employee motivation at a 0.05 significance level, indicating that these human resource development practices were well implemented, though capable of further improvement. The study implies that management should give due attention to employee welfare, opinions, and initiatives—particularly among lower-level staff—as continuous career development and training opportunities enhance emotional commitment, motivation, and performance, thereby strengthening employees’ affective attachment to the organization.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of European football league viewership on the formation of social identity among fans of different football clubs in Ibadan, Nigeria, with a focus on how this identity formation influences patterns of social interaction. Guided by Social Identity Theory, the study examines the cognitive processes involved in how individuals incorporate football club affiliations into their self-concept. The research adopted a quantitative method with a descriptive survey design. A total of 100 young male adults, selected using a stratified purposive sampling technique from five soccer viewing centers in the Oluyole Local Government Area of Ibadan, participated in the study. Data was collected using questionnaires and analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency counts and percentages). Findings indicate that the UEFA Champions League significantly influences the development of social identity among young male fans, with club loyalty shaping interpersonal relationships, fostering strong in-group camaraderie, and occasionally contributing to intergroup tensions. The study concludes that the social identities formed through football fandom extend beyond viewing centers to influence broader social behaviors and interactions in everyday life.

Abstract

This study analyzes the implementation of household waste management policies in Muara Enim Regency based on the implementation theory of George C. Edwards III, which includes four main variables: communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The background of this research is the increasing volume of household waste that has not been balanced with an effective and sustainable management system. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, utilizing regional policy documents, field observations, and interviews with relevant parties. The results of the study show that the implementation of waste management policies has not been optimal. Inhibiting factors include a lack of policy socialization, limited transportation facilities and infrastructure, weak coordination between agencies, and low public awareness of independent waste management. Improvement efforts should focus on enhancing cross-sector communication, strengthening the capacity of human resources and facilities, and empowering the community to maintain environmental cleanliness. This research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the government and the community to realize effective, efficient, and sustainable waste management in Muara Enim Regency.

Abstract

This study investigates public communication governance and its role in supporting the marketing of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Makassar City, focusing on multi-actor collaboration, participation dynamics, and communication effectiveness. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with government officials, MSME actors, supporting communities, and associations. Findings show a shift toward a more collaborative and participatory communication model, where MSMEs, communities, and government actors co-create strategies from planning to evaluation. The use of diverse communication channels—from social media and websites to informal networks—has improved MSMEs’ access to promotional programs, training, and policy information. Responsive feedback mechanisms and active stakeholder participation strengthen program relevance and effectiveness. However, persistent challenges remain, including digital literacy gaps, infrastructure limitations, and preferences for conventional communication. These findings underscore the need for adaptive, inclusive, and multi-layered communication strategies tailored to the diverse characteristics of urban MSMEs. The study recommends strengthening digital literacy, institutionalizing cross-sector collaboration, and conducting regular evaluations to sustain public communication innovations. By highlighting the strategic role of local communication governance, this research contributes to Indonesia’s broader agenda of enhancing MSME competitiveness and advancing an inclusive digital economy.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the role of digital governance in increasing the competitiveness and branding of Sumedang tourism. Digital governance is seen as an important instrument in integrating information, technology, institutions, and socio-economic contexts in tourism promotion governance. This study uses a qualitative method with a naturalistic approach. The research method used is a qualitative method. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation of four informants determined by purposive sampling techniques, consisting of officials and staff of the Sumedang Regency Tourism, Culture, Youth, and Sports Office. Data analysis is carried out through reduction, presentation, and drawing of conclusions. The results show that the implementation of digital governance has supported the availability of accurate information, rapid data updates, and promotion through social media and virtual tours. However, its utilization is not optimal due to the limitations of digital infrastructure, human resource capacity, and the absence of standard operational standards in digital tourism promotion. The impact of digital promotion has been seen positively in improving the image of destinations and tourist interest in visits, even though the economic benefits have not been felt evenly. Overall, digital governance plays a strategic role in strengthening the branding and competitiveness of Sumedang tourism, noting the need to strengthen infrastructure, human resources, and more integrated policies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze environmental communication practices in the context of managing the Meratus Geopark natural tourist destination, particularly in the Tahura Sultan Adam Mandiangin area, Banjar Regency, South Kalimantan. The approach used is a descriptive, qualitative one, employing Lasswell's communication model framework and Yenrizal's (2017) concept of environmental communication. The research findings indicate that environmental conservation communication practices remain hierarchical and top-down, with government institutions, particularly the Forestry Department, playing a dominant role in communication. Local communities have not been strategically involved in the process of message delivery or in the formulation of management policies for the area. The messages conveyed tend to be technocratic and have not integrated local cultural wisdom, while the media used include banners, the “bottle cage” trash bin innovation, and social media that have not been systematically coordinated. Feedback from tourists indicates a positive effect on conservation messages, but long-term effectiveness still depends on active local community participation and the strengthening of two-way communication. This study recommends the need to strengthen the role of local actors as communicators, integrate cultural values into environmental messages, and optimize digital media as part of a community-based conservation communication strategy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Rajeg Village in facilitating the digitization of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) as an effort to strengthen local economic competitiveness and independence. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method through in-depth interviews with the Village Head, the Head of MSMEs, and two active MSME actors. The analysis was conducted thematically by examining communication patterns, forms of facilitation, and obstacles encountered in the digitization process. The results show that the role of Rajeg Sub-District Office is still facilitative and participatory, mainly through socialization activities and cooperation with external parties such as universities. The main obstacles include low digital literacy, limited continuous training, and minimal technical support. This research expands the application of the concept of participatory development communication by showing how the role of the sub-district government as a digital facilitator can be a catalyst for socio-economic change at the community level.

Abstract

Amid growing demands for transparency and public participation in tourism governance, public reporting technology is still rarely positioned as a strategic instrument for citizen participation in sustainable tourism destinations. This study aims to analyze the needs and design a complaint reporting system for violations in Indonesia's priority tourism destinations by integrating sustainability principles and RAD approach. Using in-depth interviews with tourism experts and application developers, questionnaires, and field observations in super-priority destinations. The results show that the limitations of manual complaint systems not only hamper the effectiveness of follow-up violations but also weaken the participation of tourists as actors in destination governance. The main findings indicate that a responsive, secure, and transparent digital reporting system has the potential to strengthen the practice of co-production of public services and increase the accountability of tourism destination management. The scientific contribution of this research lies in the expansion of the RAD model's application in the context of participatory technology in the tourism sector, while enriching the e-governance discourse by positioning complaint applications as a medium for tourists and destination managers. This research emphasizes that public reporting technology is strategic instrument in building participatory, ethical, and sustainable tourism destination governance.

Abstract

Nigeria’s extensive cultural diversity, spanning over 250 ethnic groups, and its expanding creative economy hold significant potential for advancing sustainable development. However, the underutilization of cultural assets in national development strategies represents a persistent challenge. This study investigates how culture contributes to sustainability in Nigeria and evaluates the extent to which government policies, particularly the 1988 National Cultural Policy, align with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Adopting a qualitative research design, the study analyses policy documents, government reports, and academic literature using thematic and content analyses, guided by the Cultural Heritage and Creativity Framework. Findings reveal that culture has been deployed in sustainability efforts through arts, music, media campaigns, and creative industries to promote civic education, peace-building, and environmental awareness. Despite this progress, weak policy implementation, funding limitations, and exclusion of cultural stakeholders constrain impact. The study concludes that systematic integration of cultural heritage and creativity into development planning, education, and SDG monitoring is crucial to strengthening Nigeria’s sustainability agenda and providing a replicable model for other African states.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) principle in the context of genocide prevention. Using a qualitative method based on literature study, this study examines national legal documents such as the Human Rights Law, the Social Conflict Handling Law, and Indonesia's diplomatic statements in UN forums related to R2P. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive models to identify the fit between R2P standards and Indonesian policy instruments. The results show that Indonesia supports R2P normatively, especially in Pillar 1 which emphasizes the state's responsibility to protect citizens from mass violence. However, this support is ambivalent because the state still rejects Pillar 3 which opens up the possibility of international collective intervention. A national policy analysis revealed that Indonesian legal instruments have contained elements of protection, but are not specifically designed to prevent genocide, so their implementation is more reactive than preventive. The Papuan case study shows that there is a risk of structural genocide that has not been officially recognized by the state. The main obstacles to the implementation of R2P in Indonesia lie in the dominant security paradigm, the absence of a human rights-based early warning system, and the politics of denial of the potential for mass violence. This study recommends the explicit integration of R2P principles into national policies, the establishment of early warning systems, and the reorientation of security approaches to human security. In conclusion, Indonesia is at the stage of R2P as a discourse, but it has not fully become R2P as a policy practice.
